Classes and Majors

While law schools admit students from nearly every undergraduate major, three fields of study at WSU offer pre-law tracks: history, philosophy, and political science. These pre-law undergraduate major options do not necessarily give students an advantage in applying to law school, but they may be of interest to students considering a career in law.

Regardless of your major, there are a number of courses offered at WSU that are likely to be of interest to pre-law students and/or help students develop the skills necessary to succeed in law school.

In general, you should choose a major that interests you. Doing so increases the likelihood that you will do well in your classes, which in turn will increase your chances of getting into the law schools of your choice.
